Been using it with no problems on windows 10
You just find them like any other item drop. They don't drop often, which is weird because they're technically not "rare."I don't even remember how to get a second mag to level
I think there might also be a quest where you get one IIRC. Might be wrong though, it's been a long time.

They drop in the mines.
Or the SUPER easy way:
1. Start new character
2. Type /bank
3. Unequip mag and put it in the bank
4. Swap characters
5. Type /bank
6. Remove mag from bank

Works perfectly for me in Windows 7. Didn't have to do anything special.

Can also create a new char, take their mag and drop it in the common bank (type /bank) then withdraw on another character.

Sloowly leveling up. Was only able to do a quick forest run last night and hit level 13. I want to at least be able to do Caves this weekend.

I'm using it on Win 7 with "hide DS4" setting (so it only shows up on my computer as a single X360 pad) and it's been fine. No changing what I normally do. Just make sure you have DS4Windows running before hand and the controller is plugged in before you launch the game.
Additional Info: I run the game windowed and from launcher.exe.

Dear GOD, Addicting Food is boring and nonsensical.
First you're supposed to do a full caves run, Solo, and then suddenly there's a giant cake van/mobile bakery in the deepest parts of a lava filled, monster infested cave network. Like.. WHAT?
Who are they going to sell to? Only hunters are supposed to be allowed on Ragol, are they just doing it for fun, or are they expecting average Pioneer 2 citizens to just fight through a fuckton of monsters to buy a fucking pavlova?

A lot of the stuff in PSO is nonsensical. Don't try to take the game seriously... You're in line for a lot of headaches if you do.
DS4Windows works fine here for me... but you should actually need DS4Windows or Input Mapper at all. The Dualshock 4 works natively in Phantasy Star Online.

This is a tribute to older Phantasy Star games (in sega genesis)
They had traveling cake NPC's, they just ruined the experience in PSO with an off-putting caves run

I mean, I don't know about you, Muskie, but after multiple sprawling levels of trekking through probably the most boring environments in the game, fending off dozens of slavering abominations while running through hallways full of traps and avoiding death by slow, awkward crushing... I fuckin' want some cake.
I never knew people loathed caves so much. The dislike I've seen it receive around here is something I've never experienced.
Last night everyone vetoed even playing through it. I didn't really care, but I was certainly surprised a bit.
Why does everyone dislike it so much?

I dislike normal caves...you don't have anti unless you're lucky and you're most likely broke and weak. so you spend all your mesta getting through and de rol le rolls over you because you don't have anything to aoe.
I always thought mines would have been a better second level and make more sense as you're going from human created mines to caves to ruins...oh well
Hit me up when you're awake! I have 0 need for a booma claw so I'll just be happy with the mechgun.

Caves is long and slow. XP comes in at a dismal rate. The environment is boring until Caves 3.
Did I mention it's long as fuck? Because it's long as fuck.
The maze-y nature and general length means you'll likely have to backtrack a lot because you made one wrong turn. Mines and Ruins share this issue, but Caves is the worst (probably because it's the 2nd area in the game it feels like you're in it forever).
It's a total pain in the ass due to the fact that poison and paralyze last like... forever. So if you're playing as a Human or Newman you basically have to stock up on a lot of items to counter that and not get hit. It's also a bit uninspiring compared to what comes before and after. It's also significantly longer than the first and third areas.
I imagine people who played CASTs on their first playthrough love it tho. No poison or paralyze for them.
Yeah so I just reroll'd.
Getting into hard and realized myu ID was wrong for a RAmar. I also think because the server is more private, there will not be thousand of players to trade shit. And I need to be able to hunt myself the stuff I want.
So 38 levels and 15 hours in the trash, but because PSO like me, I got a red box (photon drop), in a box of forest 1 in like the 3rd room I played. Wow.

Rooms are huge with lots of nothing and overall boring. Lilys are a pain for non-casts and people who can't range them. Pan arms and dragons take awfully long of you don't know how to fight them.
That's all in normal-vhard. In ultimate it's that megid that requires 70edk that sucks for people.
I'm generally ok with Caves, though. The only place I don't like is jungle and seaside and that's mostly cmode trauma.
Man, I was thinking about re-rolling a day or two ago, but I'm just gonna stick with it.
I'm having enough fun.
Apparently my ID isn't the worst for my character, even though it's a lot better if I were to add a space at the end, apparently.

Yeah I'm about 21-22 now, and looking for people to level up with.

Weapons that steal XP do so off the BASE XP, not the server boosted rates.
For me it was mostly the length, there are a few annoying monsters (lillies, dragons, slimes) but I would be more OK with them if it weren't for the length. The music is also so soothing... I couldn't count the number of times I fell asleep playing through caves late at night back in the day.

That explains my acute disappointment with the Master's Arms I picked up last night. (Although, what is the base XP for Hard Ruins monsters? 1 XP per hit seems very low even if it's going off the base value.)
You want boosted XP for that? Pretty sure the ep2 method works fine and is fast as is.Weapons that steal XP do so off the BASE XP, not the server boosted rates.
Forest and Mines are the most fun areas, and Ruins is fine because it's badass and most of the enemies aren't too annoying.
Caves has maze-y layouts, a bunch of super annoying enemies, is long as fuck, and has an asshole of a boss.
Funny story, the original order was Forest / Mines / Caves / Ruins (you can sort of tell from a lore / creature design point of view) but they swapped 'em round toward the end of development.

I never knew this. But yeah, I always liked Mines better.
I'll just say that caves is boring as all get out. It's hard to do late night gaming in caves because sometimes I'll just fall asleep while running through the levels. It's almost as bad as the VR levels in Ep2.

I haven't really progressed far in PSO so far but man, the music in this game is really good. Sonic Team really hit it out of the park with this one.
The character creation theme and shop theme is infectious.

I'm pretty sure on Schthack there was a team-wide notification when a player picked up a rare item; any way to implement this here, N.A?

Just finished a Ruins run on Normal with a few of you, going to feed my mag for a bit while I watch the ball game, and pick up on Hard later.
This game is still incredible, I don't know how much of that is nostalgia, but damn, I don't care, I'm loving it.
